Adventures way back when the weather was good

Thanks for all of your suggestions on my clutter. I really appreciate it! I got some good ideas for weeding out clothing and the gobbler coming to visit is too funny! I really should try it but I have to be able to have a straight face when I tell them and that will take some work.

Way back on Tuesday, when the weather was nice for a half a minute (last night and today - snowing!), we went on a the preschool field trip to the Dinosaur Park. We have been there many times for Jake's field trips and we used to live so close and visited several times over the summer, so we weren't too terribly excited. Still, we thought it would be nice to enjoy some fleeting sunshine.

During past trips with Jake, he was mostly excited to play in the park so there wasn't too much exploring. Mia, however, was completely different. She was excited to look around at the dinosaurs. She got herself a map and picked out two different dinosaurs and set out on an adventure to find them. It was fun to follow her around. She wanted to learn about the dinosaurs that we found and laughed and ran to the next one and cooed over the baby dinosaurs. She loved the presentation about the dinosaurs and was completely entertained. We did play in the park too, just not the whole time. Mia didn't really play with the other preschool kids. Every once in a while, she would run after someone or talk to another, completely different from Jake who has a friend all of the time. It turned out to be a nice little trip and we most definitely enjoyed the sunshine!

Sam slept for the first hour of the park. He was very surprised when he woke up. He immediately started pointing out dinos and 'meowing'. Every animal meows according to Sam . Dinosaurs are no exceptions. No matter how much we tried to teach him to roar, he just smiled and laughed at us. Silly baby! At least he recognizes that it was an animal! He wasn't too thrilled about the park either. He would just stand and stare at the other kids and then come back to snuggle on my lap. Such a shy boy he is.

And we found the world most dangerous creature........oooooo scary!
